I, personally wouldn't give/trade it to people when times are hard.
it can give them "liquid courage" and maybe try to take whatever else you have.

Now, I know many people collect wine, but I'm talking about two-buck-chuck here. If SHTF many people won't be able to buy their wine of preference, and having some two-buck-chuck on hand may go a long way. What's great about alcohol is that people drink when times are good and continue drinking when times are bad. Thoughts?

How likely is the government to outlaw alcoholic if times are bad?
